Hi Y'all, I'm new to the group. I just turned 30 in December and have put on a lot of weight since I stopped trying to lose in 2019. Now I'm at my highest-ever-weight and have this nagging feeling that being over 30 is going to make it so much harder to lose than when I was 20 and lost a bunch of weight in college. I have read lots of info and listened to podcasts that confirmed that our bodies don't suddenly change metabolism at a certain age, and it typically slows in your late 60's to early 70's, but I can't help but feel like it's hopeless for me at this point.
